RDL, EZ Curl, Reverse Grip Press
Here's my E Z curl bar in action:
Take a regular palms-up grip on the bar. Perform a Romanian Deadlift, or as we used to call them a Stiff-Legged Deadlift.
I keep a slight "variable" bend in my knees. The "variable" knee bend allows you to keep your knees slightly bent and moving while performing the exercise. I like the "variable" knee bend because it works the hamstrings and calves better too.
At the top of the DeadLift, perform a biceps curl.
At the top of the curl, press the bar overhead.
I think this type of press is called an English Press? I can't find my Arnold's Encyclopedia of Bodybuilding right now to look it up.
After locking out at the top of the press, reverse direction and bring the weight to the shoulders, reverse curl the weight to the waist, then bring the weight all the way down to the floor with the knees slightly bent. Repeat for the required number of reps. I usually do ten reps..
I did this exercise after side presses with the E Z curl bar. That's another great exercise.
Two full body exercises with an E Z curl bar designed to strengthen hamstrings, calves, lats, shoulders, torso muscles, rotator cuffs and elbow flexors (biceps).
